TEE POOR MANS LAW.

Mr.. Editor.-The time has come in
the history of our State that stock
owners should be required to keep their
cattle from running at large. The
writer ia fully aware that law of this
kind would ut first meet with much op-
position. and this article is not written
with the view of having it endorsed by
every one who may read it. Neverthe-
less the argument in it's favor is 50
strong and clear as to appeal to the
good sense and good Judgment of the
more Intelligent classes of our people
1. The man who owns nothing and is
obliged to rent land for cultivation and
who now pays from So to 81 per acre,
rent, could most likely rent the same
land for so cts. per acre, We're the owner
not obliged to build and maintain a
fence around it.
.. The man who has few head of
cattle, but is too poor to own land,
could better afford to pay Il small year
ly fee for the use of public pasture
and rent land for 80 cts. per acre, than
he could to allow his stock to run at
large and pay rent of 50 or 81 an
acre.
g. The man who owns land and no
cattle, would find it more profitable to
work or rent said land than if he had
to undergo the expense of building and
maintaining fence around it.
4. A man who owns both land and
stock would find it cheaper to prevent
his stock from trespassing upon the
lands of others than he wonld to pro-
tect his whole field against the depreda-
lions of his neighbours stock. Besides,
having his cattle under q fence and
under his own eye they are better pro-
tected from thieves, could be looked
after in case of sickness or accident
and above all, could be graded and i'm
proved, so as to materially increase
their value. This is no longer stock
raising country, except by the method
of raising improved stock under good
fence. The planting interests demand
Il mo fence law" which has proven
such success in all the other States of
the Union. The Press of our State
should agitate the matter.
